Absolute Blogmusings from an absolutely blank mind A New LandscapeLetting you know that one of my images has been selected for online exhibition this month at the PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont. The theme of the exhibition is "LANDSCAPE: EARTH AND SKY" and images for the show were selected by Jacob and Alissa Hessler. Jacob is a fine art photographer specializing in large-scale landscapes. He teaches landscape photography with his wife Alissa at Maine Media Workshops, Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, Sedona PhotoFest and Photo Field Trip. The image they selected, "bubbles", (one that some of you may have seen before) is not exactly a traditional landscape! The brief was to look at landscape with a fresh perspective and unique eye, and indeed it's fascinating to see this alongside more traditional interpretations of landscape.
The Exhibition runs from October 16th to November 20th, 2015. PHOTOPLACE GALLERY Image:
An exhibition catalog will be available soon from Blurb books.
A New Look!If you have visited my website (http://absoluteblank.com) recently you may have noticed it looks a little different! After a busy summer I finally decided it was time to update my online presence, which was starting to look a little tired. The site now has a modern new look and can adapt to any device or window size. There's a new logo too! Here's my new Home page (featuring a full screen slideshow):
Cleaning up the content is still a work in progress. I'm reorganizing a few things, removing some of the "meh" stuff and adding new work. Some is done, but look out for more changes in the coming weeks.
You may also notice that the monthly "Featured Image" is gone. Instead I'll be posting photos to the blog on a much more frequent basis, the idea is for this to become more of a photo blog (there will be news too!). Check back often, share, and let me know how you like it!
An Omen?Did you see the super-harvest-blood-lunar eclipse moon last night? Apparently some people consider these things ominous...
This picture is from last year - nothing bad happened after that one, right?
Lessons of NatureThe natural world (with apologies to "The Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy"), is big. Really big. I mean, you may think it there are a lot of choices in the garden center, but that's nothing compared the whole natural world... The current exhibition at the Dark Room gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont tries to embrace it all. From the smallest anatomical detail to the vastness of space, it's all fair game. That gives artists a lot of scope of course, and the quality of the work shows that. I'm very lucky to have one of my images "Complexus" selected for the show, which is on display in the gallery from June 25th through July 19th Complexus View the image in the Absoluteblank gallery: Images were selected by juror Dan Burkholder - one of the first photographic artists to embrace digital technology in the early 1990’s. Darkroom Gallery Artists' Reception scheduled for July 17th, 2015 The Exhibition Catalog for the show is available now, and can be viewed online to review all the work in the show (and can be purchased) here:

Originating the digital-negative process in 1992, Burkholder helped open doors for black and white photographers interested in moving into the new electronic technologies. His award-winning book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing, is regarded as the most authoritative work in the field.
